Historic Hotel
This property is historic therefore bring your patience. The hotel was built in the 1940s and you can tell by everything being small. What is Really nice is the outside sitting area. Grab a book out of the room and a cappuccino from the coffee shop. If you need handicap accessable then this hotel is not for you. The coffee shop also has light food menu.

We really enjoyed our stay. The check in was easy, we got there around 6:30 and our room assignment was on the board and key in the door, no staff to check us in. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. The shower was a little small and the door did need to an extra push/pull to close but these weren’t any bother to us. The AC worked great. We loved coffee at Sticks and heard it was the best in town. The town was cute, everyone was nice and we enjoyed the restaurants in town. Great stay for our trip to Yosemite!

Outstanding service and accommodation
Cool little inn on a quiet street. The owner was very accommodating and responsive. They had to scramble to find us a crib as they had none left when we checked in. She was super sweet and was able to locate one in town for us to use during our stay. Outstanding service and ability to accommodate us. Really went above and beyond.
The room was nice and spacious. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The only thing I'd say is the bathroom could use a little more attention when cleaning. Overall it was a great stay for our trip to Yosemite!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was very accommodating however the front door could use some weather strip updating. There is a large gap at the bottom and along the side allowing the cold air to enter which made it quite drafty.
